# Associate, AI Foundry & Digital Growth at Prophet

- **Company:** Prophet
- **Location:** New York, NY
- **Posted:** 2026-05-04

## Job description

## About the Role

Prophet's Digital discipline is a dedicated team of seekers, experimenters, and makers — powered by the latest in digital culture and technology — creating breakthrough marketing campaigns, customer experiences, products, services, and new business models that accelerate growth and innovation for our clients. Where much of Prophet works in the realm of strategy and insight, Digital is where thinking becomes doing: we seek out emerging technologies and opportunities, experiment with hypothesis-led approaches, and make the digital things that bring strategies to life.

Our practitioners span the intersections between marketing impact, product and service innovation, and new capability building — all in pursuit of uncommon growth for CEO and CMO buyers. Whether it's launching a go-to-market campaign, designing a new digital product, or standing up an AI-powered service from scratch, Digital is the team that builds it.

You will be immersed in this maker culture while giving you hands-on experience inside Prophet's AI Foundry, the team behind MAIA. MAIA is our next leap in AI — an always-available assistant that amplifies human insight. Built on a multi-agent framework, MAIA connects specialized tools, data sources, and reasoning systems through one interface, turning AI into true Augmented Intelligence that extends our creativity, judgment, and expertise.

You will work across two complementary tracks: contributing directly to the AI Foundry team (building and evolving MAIA and supporting our ecosystem of AI accelerator partners) and joining client project teams delivering digital strategy, experience design, marketing services, and transformation work. On any given day, you'll interact with engineers, designers, strategists, media specialists, product managers, and client leads from across Prophet's multidisciplinary bench.

## Your Day to Day

While every day will be different, you can expect to:

Develop structured thinking and digital problem-solving skills. You'll break down complex challenges — whether for clients or for the AI Foundry — using structured frameworks. You'll dig into industries, customer behaviors, and digital trends through research, while also identifying user needs and mapping workflows to improve how AI tools serve internal and external users.

Use AI as a working tool — not just a topic of conversation. You'll actively use MAIA and other AI tools to improve the quality and speed of your work — crafting prompts, evaluating AI-generated outputs critically, and refining results into polished deliverables. You'll also help build or improve the prompts, templates, and workflows that make the AI Foundry's tools more effective for the broader firm.

Communicate clearly and tell compelling stories. You'll turn research and data into persuasive deliverables — decks, frameworks, and presentations — learning to frame the "so what" and connect digital capabilities to business outcomes. You'll contribute to workshop preparation and practice presenting with confidence to internal leaders and clients.

Own your work and collaborate across disciplines. You'll manage tasks with increasing independence, prioritize deadlines, and deliver high-quality outputs on time. Prophet's digital work spans product design, experience design, service design, marketing operations, media strategy, analytics, and more — you'll learn what each craft contributes and participate actively in cross-functional team settings, adapting to feedback and different working styles.

Play a role beyond project work. Digital Associates contribute to firm growth and culture — supporting business development, participating in internal initiatives, and documenting learnings that help the team work more efficiently. In the AI Foundry, this includes codifying best practices for MAIA usage and helping onboard colleagues to new tools.

Learn fast, grow early, and lead with a point of view. You'll have direct exposure to senior teammates and clients, with mentorship and regular feedback to build confidence and sharpen your perspective — in written deliverables and as a voice in the room.

## What You Bring

- A strong academic foundation: You should be a recent graduate or an early-career professional with 2–3 years of experience. We require a BA or BS degree (completed or in progress) in a relevant field (e.g., Business, Economics, Computer Science) with a demonstrated track record of academic or professional excellence.
- Structured critical thinking and creative problem solving: You can break down a problem, ask the right questions, and contribute to solutions — even in unfamiliar domains.
- Clear, confident communication: Strong written and verbal skills, with the ability to structure ideas and adapt your message to different audiences.
- Hands-on comfort with AI and digital tools: You've experimented with AI assistants, generative AI, or digital design/analytics platforms. Familiarity with prompt engineering, no-code/low-code platforms, or data analysis tools is a strong differentiator.
- Knowledge of, and passion for, digital strategy and transformation: You follow how technology, AI, and digital experiences are reshaping industries and business models — and you can form an opinion about where things are headed.
- A builder's mindset: You're energized by creating things — frameworks, prototypes, research syntheses, or internal tools — and you document and share what you learn.
- Curiosity and adaptability: An unrelenting commitment to get to the answer, test new approaches, and push assumptions — paired with comfort in ambiguity and the ability to flex when circumstances shift.

Location: New York, NY or Chicago, IL

Salary: 85,000 - 95,000 USD
